Totalitarian Socialism and its Developmental Tasks in Romania (1948-1956)

Summary/Abstract: The Communist regime embarked itself into a vast program of industrialization and development which reflects the principles of economic nationalism, as explained by Helga Schultz. The pursuit of economic and industrial development had been a constant political feature in Romania, after the foundation of the modern nation-state. Taking advantage of the authoritarian instruments available to it, the Communist regime continued this policy of state-led development. In its relations with other Socialist countries, Romania was guided by this project, as much as the political circumstances of the Soviet domination allowed it.
